For some reason my recording tab sets to mute every time I quit the Volume Control. When starting it and disabling mute seems to be all right. BTW thanks got some nice shots here. Skype is working with no problems(except that mentioned).
I have sound when logging in and I have sound when watching video on sites that do not require Firefox plugins. Here comes the problem ==> On sites that require firefox plugins to watch movie trailers (such as http://movies.yahoo.com/):
1) There is no sound
2) After some video plays, Firefox dies (i.e. Force Quit is necessary because Firefox becomes unresponsive and just freezes)
When I type aboutlugins in the Firefox address bar, everything is enabled. Here are the plugins that I have:
Shockwave Flash
File name: libflashplayer.so
Shockwave Flash 9.0 r124
VLC Multimedia Plug-in
File name: libvlcplugin.so
Version 0.9.9a Grishenko, copyright 1996-2007 The VideoLAN Team
DivX® Web Player
File name: libtotem-mully-plugin.so
DivX Web Player version 1.4.0.233
QuickTime Plug-in 7.2.0
File name: libtotem-narrowspace-plugin.so
The Totem 2.26.1 plugin handles video and audio streams.
VLC Multimedia Plugin (compatible Totem 2.26.1)
File name: libtotem-cone-plugin.so
The Totem 2.26.1 plugin handles video and audio streams.
Windows Media Player Plug-in 10 (compatible; Totem)
File name: libtotem-gmp-plugin.so
The Totem 2.26.1 plugin handles video and audio streams.
There are lots of suggestions in this thread but I really don't know which ones applies to my situation (if any). I am not sure if my Firefox crashes and lack of sound (while watching yahoo video trailers) are the result of audio problems or video problems.
Absolutely none of this was a problem in 8.10
I'm up for debugging this, I just don't know where to start.
Suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
There's a colon in between about and plugins, not the smiley face

Please ignore my last 2 posts. I didn't read Markbuntu's post and this thread carefully enough before posting probably because it was in the middle of the night. I am going to try to get it working tonight based on his suggestions.
Thanks.
PMs will be ignored.

Markbuntu, I followed every singe step in your thread. Everything works as you outlined it.
However, I still have no sound in Youtube, Yahoo movie trailers & MSN trailers.
In this link https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/68518 it talks about starting the pulse audio sound server. I googled this and thought that editing /etc/default/pulseaudio and changing PULSEAUDIO_SYSTEM_START=1 (from 0) and then stopping then starting the service via the commands /etc/init.d/pulseaudio stop & /etc/init.d/pulseaudio start would work but it did not.
I have spent many hours on this and it is very frustrating. I think that I am in the right thread. If not, can someone please point me to the right one.
Again to reiterate, the sound works great as Markbuntu illustrated it in this thread, except for in YouTube, & movie trailers from Yahoo Movies & MSN
